Collections Care & Management: Objects

As a student in the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture, I studied the design and production of early American antiques, handled valuable artifacts, conducted objects-based research, and wrote museum catalog entries.

As a student in the UD graduate course MSST 601, Collections Care and Management, I studied preventative conservation, developed plans for storage of artifacts, and cleaned objects of different media. I am well-prepared to step into a museum environment and manage a collection of historic materials.
